Re: [Openvpn-devel] NetBSD patch for OpenVPN

[James Y. <ji...@nt...>]

Dimitri,

Thanks for the patch, I will apply it to the CVS shortly.

One question I have, were you able to connect OpenVPN running on NetBSD to
OpenVPN running on a different platform such as Linux?

I ask because some tun/tap devices will prepend unnecessary stuff onto the
datagram that must be disabled with an explicit ioctl call if cross-platform
compatibility is to be preserved.  You can see some examples of this in
tun.c.

If this is the case, you might find that NetBSD <-> NetBSD tunnels work
fine, but NetBSD <-> Linux tunnels are broken.  Just something to check for
if possible...

James
